Ram 3500 Maximum Towing Capacity - Photo 10

A first for anyone, Ram 3500 has reached a 30,000-pound maximum towing capacity (total GCWR of 37,600 pounds), thanks to a 50,000-pound-per-inch high-strength steel frame, improved transfer case, and an Aisin commercial-truck transmission. Also improving the Ram 3500’s pulling capacity are its new (for 2013) three-link radius arm front that increases roll stiffness, and an 850lb-ft-torque-capable Cummins diesel engine. One new option on Ram 3500s is a supplemental airbag system with automatic ride-height control that also helps control large payloads.
